Yes, since I am living by my seasons it only makes sense to me that Autumn phase is about "letting go" and "purging" and about "winterizing". Ya know that urge on day 25-27 that has us on our hands and knees scrubbing the shower floor, hyper-focused on the shower scum, or ripping through our closet cause nothing fits right or feels right. It's a feeling of tying up loose ends in the Autumn of our lives.
I loved your funny story of almost photographing the wrong family. Never know what little quirks life is going to dish at us.
I think toddlers and pmdd have a lot in common. Haha.
Autumn cleaning makes more sense to me, since we'll be spending more time indoors over the winter. By Spring, we're focused on the outdoors and tend to neglect the inside of the house.
"Are you feeling autumn creep up yet? How’s that feeling for you?"
Coincidently this week I said to a friend "It feels like that time in late spring and early fall where it's cold in the morning and hot/warm in the afternoon, then back cool at night.. oh wow, it is the end of August, huh? Everything since the pandemic feels like it has "snuck up" on me and I'm rarely ready.
I love an autumn clear out! I think there's something so good about doing a seasonal clean, right? Just freshens it all up and makes the new season seem more tangible somehow. That's hilarious that you nearly photographed the wrong family! Love it. 😂
Seasonal cleans feel SO good. Though I'm in that middle phase where I'm completely ignoring the room I was working on last weekend because it still feels like there is so much to do 😂
Ah I know! I still can't believe I almost did that! Too funny.
Ahhh I’m enjoying that autumnal energy. I suppose it’s a kind of back-to-school feeling. I’m anxious and nervous. Also excited! Yesterday was a down day for me though...I was completely overthinking a whole bunch of things and pummelling my self-worth. Today I somehow feel more together. Glad you’ve had a shift too 💛
Oh I just love reading these little snippets of your weeks! Thank you for yet another reminder to feed Caroline haha currently also spring cleaning and it feels good. Also my god I laughed so hard about the photography incident 😂😂 I had this happen before and it's hilarious haha and lastly apologies for unsubscribing and resubscribing 30x lol was trying to see whether I could upgrade to support then realised I was in the app and that's why it wasn't working hahaha
The photography story made me laugh, reminded me of the time my Dad nearly photographed the wrong wedding. He was a semi-professional.wedding photographer back in the day and due to an error turned up at the wrong church (with a very similar name). Thankfully he realised in time and was able to dash to the correct church 🤦
Ooooh I really want to have the courage to start the sourdough... I have such resistance and fear around getting it wrong!!!! I need someone to come and help me begin!!
And YES to the clear out. I’ve been massively clearing and making space and I love it. We are doing the girls’ bedrooms as V needs to have her own space (even if she doesn’t ever sleep there!!! 🤪) and it’s so cathartic!!!!! I love doing it seasonally. Although having had a summer that felt like autumn we now seem to be having a heat wave!! So I feel all over the place!

Yes! I love how you related it to our cycles too, so so true. Definitely tying up loose ends these days!
Haha truly. I'm still laughing about it almost a week later. So funny.
Ah I bet they do 😂 Toddlers are so crazy and so fun.
I'm 100% on board with the autumn clean. A refresh every season would be great, honestly.
Very true! Maybe it should just be seasonal cleaning 😂

Right?! I feel the same way. I definitely want to get my shiz together in the autumn more so than spring.
And isn't August tied in with virgo? Getting to the details?
Side side note, virgo season officially started yesterday! ;-)
I didn't even think of that. I'm a virgo too so I reallyyy love virgo season!
Ahh you're so right!!

Haha I totally feel the same! It all moves so fast. Hopefully we can slow down and savor this autumn a bit!
Also, the photography story is hilarious! "You are not my family!" hahaha
Hahaha I still laugh out loud just thinking about it. Too funny!
I love an autumn clear out! I think there's something so good about doing a seasonal clean, right? Just freshens it all up and makes the new season seem more tangible somehow. That's hilarious that you nearly photographed the wrong family! Love it. 😂

I know what you mean about closing the door on the clear out. 😅 I have a room I'm doing the same with this week. 😂

Very true! Which is funny because I used to hate the back-to-school time of the year (maybe it has something to do with me being homeschooled? 😂).
I'm so sorry you had a down day yesterday! They are really, really hard to get through. Glad you're feeling more together today!

Hahah Caroline's hungry!! Go feed her 😂
Oh my gosh you've done that with a photography session too?! Did you end up photographing them?? I need details! Haha
Hahah aw you're so sweet! No worries!! I try to ignore those subscribed emails anyway! 😂

Oh my gosh, that's hilarious!! Hahaha what an amazing story. Could you imagine if he photographed the wedding?! Haha
I saw/read both the day in my life’s and I was almost inspired to do my own.
Aw good! Have you posted it yet? I'll have to read!!
I have not posted it. Maybe in a couple weeks!
Is autumn clean the new pre-winter nesting? Does it start when the temps are around 9 at night?
I think it must be?! We need to do allll the nesting!
